Follow the trail to finish the tale and encounter wonder on the way

Step into a storybook this summer as Leeds becomes the stage for Wonderland Awaits, a spectacular, city centre immersive experience inspired by Lewis Carroll’s timeless tales.

Leeds city centre will be reimagined through the curious lens of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, with seven larger-than-life installations and a free family trail guaranteed to spark imagination, laughter and discovery.

Presented by LeedsBID and created by the world-class team at Cuddle Creative Works, Wonderland Awaits is set to delight all ages with interactive installations, theatrical performances, eccentric characters, a puzzle, and surprises around every corner.

From venturing down the rabbit hole, advice from a caterpillar and an encounter with a Cheshire Cat to an invitation to a tea party and a mythical monster to come face to face with – people simply need to pick up a special map to follow in Alice’s footsteps.

There are also some famous voices to listen out for, bringing the Wonderland characters to life – Marcus Brigstocke as the Caterpillar and Tom Read Wilson as the Cheshire Cat.

People can expect to meet some iconic characters, be confused by riddles, and find clues hidden in plain sight. And those who complete the trail, could also be in with a chance to win some amazing weekly prizes,

There’s also an abundance of additional Alice themed events and activities including daily craft workshops daily at the Wonderland Creative Hub in John Lewis and at the Trinity Leeds Craft Club, classic film screenings at Hyde Park Picture House (1951, 2010 & 2016 versions), a giant deck of cards above Briggate and surprise pop-ups and performances.

Wonderland Awaits sees partners across the city getting creative and collaborating to bring the classic stories to life with Aire Park, Leeds Corn Exchange, Merrion Centre, Royal Armouries, Trinity Leeds, Victoria Leeds, Leeds Conservatoire and Leeds Beckett University all involved.
